The knobs that stick out of the ground around a cypress tree are called "knees." These knees are a type of root structure that help the tree stabilize in waterlogged environments and may also assist with gas exchange. They are most commonly associated with the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), which typically grows in swampy areas.
